The image of a king evokes one who is mighty and powerful. That idea is certainly the case with Jesus Christ, the King of all the universe.
Christ demonstrates His Kingship by identifying Himself with the poor and lowly, seeking to meet their needs, shepherding them to fulfillment in this life by leading them into the ways of Eternal Life.
And He has rightly earned His Kingship by dying for us sinners, who were in need of salvation, and having risen victoriously.
Now He rules our hearts. Those of us who are saved and are named by this King are called to participate in advancing the Kingdom by caring for those in need, following in the way of our Good Shepherd that we may demonstrate the faith we have in our King.
